HOW TO USE PARTS LIST

1 ASSEMBLY OF COMPONENTSON INITIAL USE: The majority of the components are assembled however you will need to attach the hose (992)SECURELY to the sprayer tank and to the handset (166) to avoid leaks during use. Ensure all fittings are tight prior to use but do not use a spanner or similar to tighten. After assembly test for proper delivery and tightness byfilling with water, pressurising and doing a test spray. Remove centre handle/piston (921) from the sprayerby turning it anticlockwise (in the locked position).

ON REUSE AND AFTER STORAGE: Check all component parts are free of excessive wear and tear, worn parts must not be used.Check for damage to unit and attachments, if damaged do not use. All repairs to be carried out by an authorized serviceagent. Check that the pressure release valve (269) is working / not stuck / blocked. Use only authorized replacementcomponents.

2 FILLING WITH FLUIDSHAKE PACK OF SPRAYABLE TREATMENTS THOROUGHLY. Remove the lid and pour contents into sprayer.Please note that the Fence Sprayer is designed to hold one 5 litre pack of Sprayable Treatments. When refilling use the 4 litre indicator (printed on the outside of the sprayer) as a guide to ensure the sprayer is not overfilled.

3 REPLACING PISTON, CLOSING TIGHTLY Wipe any liquid from the screw thread and replace piston by turning in a clockwise direction until it can betightened no further. Depress and 1/4 turn the handle (407) anti clockwise until it is in the unlocked position for pumping.

4 PUMPINGPlace the sprayer on a firm, flat surface. Pressurise the sprayer by pumping the handle up and down fullywith two hands. Make sure that fingers cannot be trapped between the handle and the top of the tank. Once youhave reached the optimum pressure for spraying, the valve (269) will release some air and the black valve handlewill rise to reveal about 5 mm of the red indicator below.

5 SPRAYING For best results stand with the sprayer nozzle approximately 15-30 cm (6´-12´) from the fence panel and spray onepanel at a time. Start by spraying the edges and any vertical struts before spraying the centre of the fence panel. Using a slow, sweeping motion, spray horizontally across the panel, turning at the end and overlappingapproximately half of the previous pass each time. This should ensure that you achieve an even finish.

As with any sprayer it may take a couple of minutes to perfect your technique. Vary the distance of the nozzle fromthe fence until you get the best finish. Begin slowly and increase the pace as you get used to spraying. Take carenot to spray too quickly as this may result in an uneven finish. Similarly, spraying too slowly will result in excessproduct being applied causing runs. Should this happen simply brush into the wood.

The Cuprinol Fence Sprayer has a very controlled spray pattern, however, as with any spray product a limitedamount of overspray will be created. This can be minimised by avoiding spraying in windy conditions and by using cardboard or plastic as a shield. Any overspray should be cleaned up with water and household detergentif necessary. Excessive spillage on plants should be rinsed off before drying.

Re-pressurise to maximum pressure when the spray pattern “tails off” following step 4. The frequency of repressurisation will depend on the amount of liquid in the container.

In the unlikely event that the nozzle (665 and 666) becomes partially blocked, release the pressure and unscrewthe retainer (291). Remove both nozzle components and filter (664) and wash with water until all traces of fluid are removed. Check to see if the nozzle holes are clear and reassemble.

6 FINISHINGAny unused treatment can be sprayed directly back into the pack for storage. To do this, remove the combined components (990 and 991) and depress the trigger slowly to avoid splashback.

7 RELEASING THE PRESSUREBEFORE REFILLING OR AFTER USE, ENSURE ALL PRESSURE IS RELEASED VIA THE PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE (269) BEFORE OPENING THE SPRAYER. DO NOT LEAVE SPRAYER PRESSURISED WHEN NOT IN USE.CAUTION: DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE (269) AT ANY STAGE.

8 CLEANINGFill the sprayer with water and reseal as in step 3.Shake the sprayer to remove fluid from round the insides and then repressurise.Do not dispose of washings into drains or watercourses. Spray water into an empty container and then flush down a sink. Repeat until the waste water runs clear. To ensure that the smaller components have been cleanedthoroughly we recommend that you clean the filters (346) & (664) and the seal (165) under running water usinga hard bristle brush if necessary. Do not use wire, pins or similar sharp objects to clean or unblock the nozzle (665,666).This will lead to damage and a poor spray pattern.

Ensure that all parts of the trigger mechanism (743, 990, 991) are also washed clean of any fluid.To avoid losing smaller components on storage we recommend that you attach 990, 901 and 743 together.

Ensure that liquid is completely drained from the sprayer and hose for storage. It is best to detach the hose (992)from the sprayer tank and handset during storage.

9 MAINTENANCEA few drops of lubricating oil in the pumping mechanism (406) will protect the seal (164).Use only authorized replacement components.All repairs to be carried out by an authorized service agent.Retain user guide for future reference.
